Controversial Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, has reportedly fallen ill while in detention at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos.
After spending the night in a police cell, Bobrisky was rushed to Falomo Police Hospital for medical attention.
A source, who confirmed the development to Vanguard, said he was transferred from the FCID to the hospital for treatment.
“Bobrisky complained of ‘breast’ pain and was rushed to the Police Hospital in the Falomo area of Lagos around 2:00 p.m. in an ambulance with the plate number LND 339L.
“He wore a black gown, covered his face with a shawl, and lay down in the ambulance,” the source disclosed.
It would be recalled that the Nigerian Immigration Service intercepted Bobrisky at the Sème border on Monday while he was attempting to leave the country.
Confirming the development, the spokesperson for the NIS, Kenneth Udo, in a statement on Monday evening, described Okuneye as a person of interest over recent issues of public concern.
Udo added,“In keeping with its commitment to securing the borders, Nigeria Immigration Service intercepted Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, otherwise known as Bobrisky at the Seme Border over an attempt to exit the country.
“He is undergoing interrogation and will be handed over to the appropriate authorities for further action. The Service assures the public that it will continue to be civil and professional in its statutory responsibility of manning the country’s borders.”
It was later revealed that the crossdresser spent Monday night at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) annex in Alagbon, Lagos.
There are indications that he may remain in detention as detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding his arrest.
The FCID is expected to obtain a remand order for his continued detention.
A statement from the FCID regarding Bobrisky’s situation is expected later today.
